THE CUMMINGS OF MILLY FORD
CHAPTER 2: MILLION DOLLAR MATT
There was a loud knock at the door. It was Rick.
Freddy opened it, with Milly at his side, to find Rick stood there with a bunch of flowers.
"Milly! You look great. Ready to go?" Rick proudly thrust the flowers into Milly's chest.
She turned and whisked the flowers away to the kitchen.
"Fuck," whispered Rick, gazing hungrily at Milly in her fuck-me dress. "Thank you for letting me borrow your wife," he continued with a fat smile on his face.
Freddy stared back at him, wondering if Rick knew that he had seen the videos of Milly. He heard the sound of the waste disposal unit mashing something up in the kitchen, and smiled to himself. Hell hath no fury.
"That's ok, I guess," replied Freddy.
He was just about to ask Rick what the hell had been thinking to let Matt believe he was seeing Milly, when she returned from the kitchen.
She stepped out in to the corridor, and stared at Rick.
"Might as well get this over," she said.
Rick wrapped an arm around her waist, holding her tight.
"There you are, Rick!" A deep and booming familiar Texan voice rolled through the air. It was Matt. "Are you ready? Car's waiting for us. And Milly, hello again." He stared her up and down. "Looking mighty fine, and you certainly do justice to that lovely dress. It fits you perfectly. Everywhere."
Milly blushed. "Thank you, Matt."
He then spotted Freddy standing in the doorway. "Freddy! I'd forgotten you were staying next to Rick. Good to see you again." He stared deeply at Freddy for a moment. "Say, why don't you join us? Make a foursome? Can you handle three men at the same time, Milly?"
Milly blushed. Rick's mouth opened and closed a few times.
"Say, that would be great, thanks, Matt," said Freddy. "Give me two minutes to throw on a shirt."
Milly sat in the back of the Bentley between Rick and Matt. Freddy had been forced in to the front passenger seat beside the chauffeur.
The restaurant was as good as Freddy had expected; expensive with a touch of informality, that made Milly relaxed. Cocktails, followed by champagne, and then several courses of excellent food put everyone in the best of moods.
Milly sat opposite Freddy, and although the conversation was led by Matt and centred around Milly, she often flicked a glance at Freddy. He smiled at her every now and then, trying to reassure her, and to let her know he was there. Rick remained surprisingly quiet.
The alcohol, the compliments and attention lavished on her by Matt, were having an impact on Milly, who was becoming more flirty and giggley, allowing Matt to touch her hand occasionally.
She nodded in agreement at Matt's suggestion that they go to a nightclub.
"It's not one of those noisy ones the kids frequent," said Matt. "Better music. Better dancing. Private. Really classy place."
Once again, Freddy had got the front passenger seat, and was forced to watch Rick stab his tongue down Milly's throat, while she did her best to try and pretend that she wasn't resisting. Matt watched on with a huge grin on his face, before whispering something to Milly, who turned to face him and accepted a long, lingering kiss.
Matt secured them a private table near the dance floor, and the cocktails started flowing. Milly took turns to dance first with Rick, then with Matt, and finally with her husband.
"How are you doing? Are you ok?" Freddy asked her, as they jiggled together on the dance floor.
"Yes!" she yelled back. "It's actually very good fun, isn't it?"
"What about Rick? I hope he's not being too much of a pain."
"He's being a bit of a dick, to be honest, keeps feeling me up. But don't worry, I'm letting him do it so Matt still thinks I'm his slut wife."
"Are you getting on with Matt ok? He clearly fancies you."
"Stop it, naughty boy," said said playfully. "You shouldn't be encouraging your wife to flirt with an older man. Not in front of her asshole boyfriend."
"Are you flirting? I hadn't noticed!"
Freddy bought a round of drinks, and brought them back to the table, just as Matt sat down, having had his turn with Milly.
"Whew, she's quite a girl that Milly, ain't she? A real handful!" exclaimed Matt.
Freddy nodded, looking at Milly and Rick together again on the dance floor, keeping up appearances on Matt's behalf.
"Yes, quite a girl," agreed Freddy.
"I told Rick I'll be staying at his place tonight," Matt said. "So I don't expect I'll get much sleep if he's going to be banging her all night. Still, you never know, I might even get something for myself!" He nudged Freddy with a snigger.
Freddy managed a slight nod and a nervous smile at the sudden realisation that if things panned out like this, he would not get his wife back tonight. What the hell was he going to do now?
Rick and Milly returned to their table, sipping their drinks. Matt was sat next to Milly, whispering something to her.
"I told you, I can't say!" she said loudly.
"Why not?" asked Matt. "I only asked you, out of all the men here tonight, which one would you most like to go home with? And you can't choose any men on this table."
Milly shook her head, her eyes rolling.
"You men. Always playing silly games," she said, slurring her words.
"Tell us, Milly. Have a good look around," encouraged Matt.
Milly's eyes roamed the dance floor, looking over to the bar, glancing at the DJ and the few people near him, taking in the waiters and bar staff. She took several minutes, before her eyes finally fell on a guy leaning up against the bar all casual, his elbows resting back on the bar. He was tall, perhaps in his late forties, with black afro hair, dark skin, a white silk shirt unbuttoned nearly to his navel, and tight black trousers. He looked like something out of
Saturday Night Fever
.
"A black guy!" exclaimed Matt. "Well, well, well. Somehow that doesn't surprise me. He's a good looker, that's for sure, eh Milly?"
"He's not bad," giggled Milly.
"You want to meet him?" asked Matt.
Milly's eyes went wide, and her jaw dropped to the floor. It took a moment for her blush to expose itself, and for her to shake her head gently.
"Come on," said Matt. "You only live once, so live a little. Let's go see if we can get his number for you."
He virtually dragged her over to the guy, shook his hand, and before you knew it, the three of them were chatting away like old friends.
Freddy just stared at what was happening in front of him, fixing his eyes on Milly, while being aware that Rick was sat across the table from him. He saw Matt shake the guy's hand again, before returning to the table.
Mr white-shirt then pulled Milly on to the dance floor, and spent several songs dancing with her, face to face, back to back, holding her hands, wrapping his arms around her. It looked like they were getting along very well, and Milly's face was beaming at being so close to the man she most wanted to take home.
"Who is he?" asked Freddy.
Matt shrugged his shoulders. "Works in finance in London. Just stopped off here for a few days after doing some deals in Malaga."
"What did you say to him?"
"Just that I had the company of this cute HotWife, who was away from her husband, and was tiring us all out. I told him that she had picked him out as the one she would most like to take home."
Freddy swallowed. Now this was really getting out of control. It almost felt as though it should be Rick who was protecting her, defending her, coming to her rescue. But instead, he just sat back with his drink.
"She sure is having a good time," complained Rick.
The guy was clearly getting in to Milly, and had slowly drifted her over past the bar, near to the toilets. His head was in the crook of her neck, and his hand was up the back of her skirt, and his other hand was pushing open the door to the toilets.
Freddy was about to get up, with the aim of going over to them, but Matt suddenly stood up.
"Don't worry I'll go rescue her. It sure looks like that dick for brains boyfriend of hers aint!" He glanced at Rick as he said this.
Matt strolled across the floor and tapped the guy on the shoulder. They spoke for a few minutes, before the guy smiled and took out his phone, tapping in to it several times. Matt took out his own phone, waited, and then nodded, smiling at Milly.
Milly just shook her head slowly, before reaching under her dress, pulling off her knickers, and handing them to the guy. The guy kissed her on the cheek, appeared to say goodnight, and Matt led her back to the table.
"What was all that about?" asked Rick.
"He was gonna take Milly back to his place," said Matt, "after he'd done her in the gents, but I said she was with us for the rest of the week. But I agreed he could have her panties for five hundred Euros."
Milly's hand was over her mouth, her eyes wide.
"You sold Milly's panties for five hundred Euros!" exclaimed Rick.
"Yup, sure did," said Matt. "That's how much they're worth," he smiled at Milly, folding his arm around her shoulder. "Just imagine how much the rest of her is worth. I'll split it with you Rick, fifty-fifty, seeing as she's supposedly your girlfriend."
Back in Matt's Bentley, they were heading back to the apartment block. Once again, Freddy was in front. Matt and Rick had been taking turns with a drunken Milly, kissing her and squeezing her breasts, and although it was very dark, Freddy wondered if Matt had gotten his hand up Milly's dress.
"So who's bed are you in tonight?" Matt asked her.
"What?" she said.
"I'm staying at Rick's tonight," said Matt, "so you have a choice of two beds, don't you, you lucky girl."
